ORIGINAL: KMsAngel woo hoo! hay igloo! actually, I'd love to make a hay bale house, a comfy farmhouse big enough for me and a few of the nearest and dearest to visit. 'bout how many bales would that take, any idea? I have seen some wonderful homes constructed from HB"S. some with sky lites and vaulted ceils, It all depends on of courses the size of the home you are building.I would say the amount of bales required would be between 1000 to 1500 bales of hay, buy them out of the field, around here you can pick them up out of the field for around 3 to 4 dollars a bale,Make it a post and beam structure and fill in with HBS.The last one I seen had some walls constructed using wine bottles, was quiet the sight the wall with all different color of bottles lighting up the room with different shades of collar..Mother earth maz has had numerous articles on sb building, check them out..
